Relative expression of the EMT-inducing factors after NF-κB/p65 signaling inhibition.

<p>The mRNA levels of <i>SNAIL1</i>, <i>SLUG</i>, <i>TWIST1</i>, and <i>SIP1</i> were assessed in MDA-MB-231 (A) and HCC-1954 (B) cells at 8, 16 and 24 h of DHMEQ treatment. NF-κB/p65 inhibition was evaluated at protein levels by western blot assay at 16 and 24 h of DHMEQ treatment. Ponceau staining was used as a loading control. Ctrl: control. The data were expressed as the mean ± SD. * = <i>p</i><0.05, ** = <i>p</i><0.01, *** = <i>p</i><0.001.
